I have been a member of the WCoS for many years. During that time it has been my privilege to be a teacher, student, opponent, counsel member, and friend to the men and women of great honor and kind spirit who make up this group. I have recently taken a hiatus of several years, but have returned to the Half Moon Bay dojo in 2008. I hope to continue my training and possibly return to teaching in the months to come. Signature Style: Rapier and short sword: My original background was as a fencer at 14 years old. I have adapted my style to the WCoS and now employ a combination of cutting and thrusting moves.
